Pros

Good pay and benefits but are slowly taking them away.

Cons

You will be working for investors. If your location is budget tight then look out. Employee cuts are the first to come. The company makes its money buy cutting labor and budget costs. Work load on individuals are tripled if not more but the credit will be consumed by management. The CEO constantly applauds corporate infrastructure period. You will be asked to perform irregular job duties on a constant basis that may or may not require travel. They claim sigma 6 Managment but it simply isn’t true. Corporate policy’s are cherry picked and skewed and when needed are managed around to benefit the company over the individual depending on need. Don’t expect to get an explanation for any of your benefits as the HR department is overwhelmed and lacking as well. HR department act more like corporate lawyers than employee safe havens. Ask any blue color employee of Cogentrix how they feel. I bet they concur.
